Hi,

Tobias Geerinckx-Rice <me@tobias.gr> skribis:

The =E2=80=98special-files=E2=80=99 service, =E2=80=98extra-special-file=E2=
=80=99, and related
documentation, including a snippet for adding /usr/bin/env (info "(guix)
Base Services"), stem from this discussion:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-02/msg00205.html

So, do people want to add /usr/bin/env by default?  :-)

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
